Womens Style

Years ago cashmere was an unaffordable luxury, but now that the high street produces some great items at great prices it’s something that we can all tap into. A cashmere jumper is such an easy piece to wear at the weekends with your favourite jeans or you can dress it up with a pleated skirt. I love the feel

One of the key trends for AW16 is Gothic Glam. Alexander McQueen, Rodarte and Blumarine all delivered dresses with melancholic, dark undertones. You don’t have to go full on with this look- a high neck sheer blouse is a great way to try the trend- pair with denim and eveningwear. Try anything in leather and

As I write this, I’m sitting in a summer dress with the sun shining and its a gorgeous September day. But soon the Autumn chill will set in and get us all wanting to buy new season items. Every season I pull a wish list together and use the online shopping destination Lyst. It’s a bit like having

A mule is a love/hate shoe- a little like Marmite. The classic shoe shape from the 90s has made a return- either high heeled or as a flat. I tend to like them on other’s but not myself- until I tried on a pair the other day in Topshop- it was LOVE. But I was in a hurry to

No I’m not talking about ‘getting bikini ready’!!! I mean those 90’s bodies (if our old enough to remember). Well they are BACK and I must say I wasn’t 100% sure to begin with. But I found one in Topshop that I loved and its perfect for an evening look. In fact generally they are

Right now I’m loving a bit of PJ top action, an easy-to-wear option and great for days when we don’t know what the weather is doing. Silky, easy-to-wear separates are a great desk-to-dinner option too. They work as well with a smart pair of trousers (I prefer a wide legged pair) as they do with jeans. Here are 6 of my favourite shirts…..

To be fair the way our summer is going I appreciate that you may NEVER get to wear a summer dress if you stay in this country! BUT if you are heading off somewhere warm and sunny (or there is a break in this awful weather) then why not try a red dress. I bought

The trend for matchy-matchy dressing or co-ords is going nowhere! It was a big hit last summer and is back again. Personally I am a big fan- It’s the clever way to do seperates and best of all, each piece can be worn alone, delivering multiple outfit options for the price of one. I’ve invested in two

Who doesn’t love a Breton stripe top! And now we’re into the summer (currently staring out of the window looking at rain-will we EVER get a summer in the UK?!?) why not try a striped dress. Exactly like the top its effortless and such a versatile wardrobe addition. Team with trainers, sandals or sky high heels/wedges. Here’s my edit of

Bikini season is now upon us (Arrghhhh!!!). There are so many to choose from but in terms of trends the scallop edged style is definitely in Vogue- it was the most instagrammed bikini last year by Marysia but if that’s out of your price range try the Monsoon one I recommend. The crochet/1970’s is also a key look

This week it’s all about gingham. It’s a real favourite of mine- it always reminds me of classic 1950’s/1960’s glamourous films! But its back for this summer as a key trend (Check out my video here). For mum I’ve gone for an off the shoulder dress which can be dressed down with white trainers if you

Though it has always been a classic, up until about two years ago, the espadrille was seen as a bit of a comedy shoe- with references to Miami Vice and the 1980’s. Now the espadrille is enjoying a new lease of life in leather and printed variations, alongside ribbons and pompoms. I tend to wear mine in place of trainers in the

This week it’s all about Mum and Son for the mini me look. Khaki is a key colour trend across women’s and kids and I’ve chosen a really laid back look for both of you. A boilersuit for Mum- so easy to throw on in the morning, and joggers for the boy. Stripes have been added

Need to inject some summer into the kids wardrobe? After the wash out of half term week, (unless you were lucky enough to escape abroad) here are some palm inspired items to get them (and you) in the tropical mood.

Nothing says summer like a white top, and the pretty white lace (or look-a-like) shirt/top is simple, perennially chic, and easy to wear. This style will smarten up your denim but will also look great with a pair of shorts or midi skirt. Perfect against tanned skin, this style will see you right through the season.

A bright red lip will always have a place in my heart (and make-up bag) but as we head into summer I love a zesty orange hue. It looks fun and great with a tan and believe it or not does work on most people! Much like picking the right red lipstick- its all about your

Oh how I love a shirt dress- they are timeless and one of those pieces you can pull out of the wardrobe when you really don’t know what else to wear. They are great for the office but also work for the weekends and holidays- try pairing with white trainers or slides. Totally versatile, this is one wardrobe staple you

A good pair of sunglasses is the perfect accessory- not just for the warmer months but any time of the year. They can add the finishing touch to your look and don’t need to cost the earth. Here are some of my favourites around…

It’s at this time of the year when we are starting to expose more flesh and think about those summer holidays. Maybe you’ve been hard at the exercise routine since January or maybe the thought of donning that cossie now has you in a mad panic and hitting the gym hard! Which ever camp you

This week’s Mum and Mini look is all about the bomber jacket in white lace. Not the most practical colour for adults or kids but it looks great! It really can be dressed up or down- for this post I’ve just teamed with casual jeans and trainers. Mum- Bomber £39.99 Zara Jeans £80 Lee at

OK so for a short while we were lured into believing that the great British weather was finally on the way up…..how wrong we were! Today as I write this, the rain is pitter patter on my window. But dammit I still feel summery- or shall I say- in need of making sure I have my summer dresses

I’m having a total boho/holiday feeling at the moment. My instagram feed constantly flashes up with Vilshenko/ March 11 and Vita Kin fabulous blouses and dresses, and its a look I love. A few weeks ago on my round of press day’s I went along to Caramel’s who now not only make amazing clothes for the kids but have

It’s finally feeling much more like summer is on its way- cue time to get those toes out! Nothing gives me more pleasure than buying a new pair of shoes- it doesn’t matter what shape or size you are they will always make an outfit. Here is my edit of the top eight summer shoe styles around

We are totally tropical this week! There is an abundance of leaf print’s around on everything from clothes to accessories and even homewares. As the weather is still quite chilly layer up in a biker or bomber jacket and ditch once we finally feel some heat! And how cool are the winged sandals! Mum- Jumpsuit

Anyone else fed up with this weather? Spring sunshine one minute, overcast, rain and cold the next. We can have several seasons in one day but if like me you are sick of your winter coat on those cooler days why not upgrade to a leather or suede biker jacket in a pretty hue?

This week’s Mini Me Monday outfit features a black summer dress and tie up pom pom sandals. This would make a great holiday outfit (very Italian/Dolce and Gabbana) or once the weather heats up here in good old blighty- perfect for an evening out. Mum- Dress £79 & Other Stories Sandals £49.99 Zara Mini- Dress £11.99 Mango Sandals £29.99

Green is one of my favourite colours and I never wear it enough. It works for every skin tone and hair colour making it super versatile and definitely a shade that should be added to your wardrobe. Plus it is meant to be the most calming colour (I definitely need to add more into

Ohh la la!!! I’ve come over all Parisienne for this week’s Mum and Mini post. I love stripes at any time of the year (Just check out my instagram feed!). They always look chic and are my go-to when I’m not sure what to wear. But especially in spring time I adore the combination of

Hands up who L.O.V.E.D Gucci’s SS16 collection. Keep those hands up if you can afford any of the items….I’m guessing the majority of those hands came down! If so then do go and take a peek at Marks and Spencer. I posted a rainbow striped jumper a few weeks ago on here which sees it’s

This post is dedicated to Easter dressing. Featuring some floral prints, ideal for Spring for both of you. I’ve clashed my prints for mum with a floral blazer and a classic striped Breton top. The culotte jeans can be replaced with a smarter trouser for a smarter family gathering and likewise for mini….a pretty blouse could replace the

Looking for a Spring coat….then you need a bomber jacket! Loved by the fashion set, including style maven Olivia Palermo, it has taken over the fashion world. Go for bold colours, pretty embroidery or even lace. There are so many different options out there to suit your lifestyle. And yes you can even wear them to the office! Pair

I appreciate it isn’t exactly ‘summer dress and sandals’ weather at the moment. But with the Easter holidays on the horizon you may be jetting off? And if you aren’t then it is never too early to start prepping that summer wardrobe! So for this week’s look it’s all about shades of yellow- for Mum-

This season, designers put vibrant rainbow stripes on everything from tailoring to accessories. I’ve been humming “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” for several weeks now (!) and totally love this trend. It’s the perfect way to transition from winter into spring and you can dip a toe into the look with an accessory if a jumper or

Mother’s Day is this Sunday 6th March- much earlier this year than usual and I’ll be honest it’s caught me out a bit! For this weeks Mum and Mini I’ve gone for some lux looks courtesy of Harrods. From Dolce and Gabbana (which has to be my favourite high end designer for that Mini Me look),
